In what dosage forms does boric acid occur?
Most of the pharmacy sales, of course, come from boric alcohol, where the active substance is 3%, and ethyl alcohol 70%.
Vaseline and talc with boric acid are less common. Otherwise, it is used as a reliable preservative for any ointments. The multicomponent Teymurov Paste with boric acid is widely known, which has an antibacterial, antifungal and deodorizing effect when applied to the skin of the feet.
Pure powder is available in 10 gram bags. It is not intended for medicinal purposes, but for the disinfection of premises, devices, equipment, containers in the food industry, as well as in medical institutions and especially in children's (due to its low degree of toxicity).

Badyaga - for bruises under the eyes
Price: from 90 rubles
Here's the news: instead of expensive hydrogel patches, you can buy one single tube for 100 rubles! In fact, badyaga is often present in products for the area around the eyes - it immediately eliminates any bruises.
Before use, be sure to do an allergy test: apply the gel to your elbow and wait 20 minutes. If there is no reaction, spread around the eyes, and after 15 minutes, rinse off the residue with warm water. Badyaga has a drying effect, so after using it, do not forget to apply a moisturizer.
Application
The main property of the acid is antiseptic. In the form of 3% alcohol, the product is used externally for pyoderma, dermatitis, and diaper rash.
Is it possible to drip boric acid into the ear?
The answer is no. Currently, doctors do not prescribe such prescriptions. Boric acid is poorly soluble in water, and 70% alcohol, as a base, is too harsh and can harm the middle and inner ear. In addition, boric acid should not be allowed to be absorbed into the blood. You can read about other medications against otitis at the end of the article in the “Analogs” section.
In rare cases, when there is no modern drug at hand for inflammation in the ear, you can use boric acid, but no more than three days. The person must be at least 18 years old.
Boric acid for otitis media - how many drops should be dosed?
Let us immediately note that boric alcohol is not dripped into the ear directly. Apply 3-5 drops of the product to a gauze swab and insert it into the external auditory canal, repeat the procedure 2-3 times a day. It is necessary to ensure that the proportion of boric acid does not exceed 3%, otherwise the concentration may cause harm and hearing impairment. Strictly prohibited if the eardrum is damaged.
Boric ointment
The ointment has a concentration of 5%, and is currently not very popular. Used for eczema, dermatitis, and diaper rash.
How to make boric acid at home?

How to dilute boric acid in powder to disinfect a room?

Contraindications and precautions

Precautionary measures:
- For the first time, use a minimum amount of product and check the reaction of the skin.
- The compositions are prepared according to the instructions and used correctly.
- At the beginning of the course, low concentration pharmaceutical preparations are used. If well tolerated, it is possible to increase the content of the active component.
- The procedure is carried out in the evening: the skin should calm down before going outside. It is important to protect your face from direct sunlight.
- After acid peeling, do not use oily compounds: a thin film interferes with the restoration and renewal of the epidermis.
Important! Failure to consult a cosmetologist before purchasing can lead to serious problems. Particular attention should be paid to irritated, thinned, dry skin, if there is a risk of allergies.
Can boric acid be used for children?
The answer is no. Children are contraindicated due to the risk of absorption of the drug from the skin surface into the systemic circulation. For the same reasons, doctors do not risk prescribing boric alcohol against otitis.
Where can I get boric acid?
The drug is sold in the form of boric alcohol in every pharmacy. Boric petroleum jelly and dry powder are also available.

Pills containing amphetamine do exist and are used for medical purposes. However, it is impossible to buy them at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. All other methods of obtaining amphetamine without a prescription are illegal and punishable under the legislation of the Russian Federation.
What drugs contain amphetamine?
Some drug addicts who have been using the drug for a long time think about how to enhance the effect and effect of amphetamine. Such drugs actually exist in modern medicine. These are new drugs that can not only significantly increase the effect of amphetamine, but also its side effects. The lethal effect of their combination is far from uncommon.
Amphetamine excites the central nervous system as it is a psychostimulant. It increases the concentration of substances such as dopamine and norepinephrine. There is dexamphetamine and levamphetamine, which are used in medicine. So, what does amphetamine contain?
Analogs
In medical practice you can find many modern and non-toxic products for local and external use. For example, Betadine solution based on povidone-iodine. It is also applied to damaged skin. Widely used in hospitals in the treatment of wound infections, ulcers, in preparation for surgery, and in dentistry.
Chlorhexidine is safe for mucous membranes. It is used as an antiseptic in gynecology, dentistry, for the treatment of burn wounds, to disinfect the patient’s skin and the hands of staff. While povidone-iodine has a small risk of absorption, Chlorhexidine has no such risk at all; it is a very mild drug.
Perhaps the most powerful antiseptic for topical use is Miramistin. In addition to the antibacterial effect, it has an antiviral and antifungal effect. The drug enhances healing, stimulates local immunity, it does not inhibit the cells of the human body, as a result of which epithelization occurs faster. Miramistin is indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic otitis media and many other pathologies.

How to enhance the effect of amphetamine?
What enhances the effects of amphetamine? Particularly dangerous is the combination of amphetamine-type drugs and psychotropic substances, such as MAO inhibitors, antidepressants and psychostimulants. They affect the concentration of neurotransmitters and enhance the effects of amphetamine. However, combining these drugs may have different effects on people. If a person has a fast enough metabolism, they will experience severe side effects from the combination of amphetamine and other drugs. How to prolong the effects of amphetamine?
MAOI
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors are biologically active substances that inhibit enzymes contained in nerve endings that prevent destruction, and also help increase the concentration of dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, etc.
MAO inhibitors include the following amphetamine drugs: Nialamid, the drug Garmaline and the drug Moclobemide.
Amphetamine-containing drugs increase the release of neurotransmitters, and inhibitors slow down their elimination. This is how the effect of enhancing the action of amphetamine occurs. Naturally, this combination leads to disruption of the internal organs and systems of the body, as well as the central nervous system.
Consequences of combining amphetamine and MAOI:
- panic attacks;
- hemorrhage;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- hypertension;
- tachycardia;
- serotonin syndrome;
- renal failure;
- pulmonary edema.
Trying to enhance the effect of the “hairdryer”, many drug addicts resort to the use of MAO inhibitors, but most often this leads to severe intoxication and death.
Combination of amphetamine and antidepressants
It is better not to mix such tablets with amphetamine. Antidepressants are drugs designed to improve a person's mood and performance. The combination of amphetamine with SSRIs (selective inhibitors) and antidepressants can lead to the development of intoxication and serotonin syndrome, which is characterized by the following symptoms:
- cramps, spasms;
- hallucinations;
- agitation;
- arrhythmia;
- sweating;
- headache;
- high pressure.
Antidepressants block the enzyme that is responsible for the breakdown of amphetamines, resulting in an increase in the concentration of psychoactive substances, which greatly increases the side effects of this combination. The following antidepressants enhance the effect of the psychostimulant: Zoloft (Sertraline), Prozac (Fluoxetine) and Fevarin (Fluvoxamine).
Psychostimulants
The effect of cocaine and methamphetamine is quite similar to stimulants; these substances also give a person euphoria, improve mood and give a narcotic “high”. Ecstasy and mescaline have a slightly different drug effect. Combinations of narcotic substances lead to harmful consequences for the entire human body.
